‘Nowhere for the water to go’ in Gaza as infrastructure destroyed, machinery blocked

The rains have forced the Anera aid organisation to close a health facility and a kitchen in Gaza. The clinic has reopened after much struggle, but the kitchen has not.

“Our kitchen has not been able to reopen due to flooding in Deir el-Balah, meaning that people who have been suffering from the heavy rain are also unable to get a cooked meal delivered to them,” Anera deputy country director Fidah Mousa told Al Jazeera from Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

“The rain has stopped but the water is still there because there is no infrastructure or machinery to drain it.”

She said parents and family members are trying to help their loved ones, but it is futile because there is no place for the water to go.
